The other day my son spent ten minutes very carefully and neatly cutting a picture of Jeremy Clarkson reclining on a sun lounger out of the newspaper, and presenting it to me as a wonderful gift. Yesterday, he was equally proud when he rescued it from the recycling pile and returned it to me with a reprimand that I needed to take more care of precious things.
What shite have you been gifted by a well meaning but tasteless child?
Our kids' school does a 'Christmas present table'. The kids choose a present from a wide selection of dubious gifts to give to someone special.
My present this year was a money box in the shape of a dog riding a moped.
It now has pride of place in the bedroom.

One of ours used to curl one out in pants for years and tell me he had something for me... 😐

That sounds awesome 😆
They'll get over that phase, and once they're earning you can get them back by suggesting presents.
For my birthday I got a 3rd hand tool, a 11-46 Sunrace cassette and a Absolute Black oval ring from my three sons (all working) 🙂
My older son did spend £1 of his £5 note at the last school Christmas Fair on a wine rack for me, so he's ok.
Half an apple, which had gone brown as she'd been nibbling it for an hour already this morning.
egg warmers which is an odd present for a vegan to receive from a vegan
I think their mother [ ex-wife] may have been behind it
A power kite
Are you sure they were for eggs junky?

Maybe there was a typo on the catalogue order?
rocks and pebbles
A "special rock" from our garden. Which I got told off for not taking to work with me.
Last night my 5 year old daughter got a bit obsessed listening to Alice Cooper - Poison over and over, before going to bed she decided she must write out all of the Chords and proceeded to scrawl out some sheet music on a piece of paper, so that I would know how to play it, if she couldn't find it again on her iPad.

(They've been on the Beach all day so this afternoon, I've mostly been trawling Tab sites and You tube and have learnt the vast majority of it, hopefully to her 5 year old ears I'll be sound like Stevie Ray Vaughn)
I'm such a soppy ****er, whenever my daughter gives me something I have a little blub ha ha.
Saying that, most recently it's been flicking boggies at me, I'm less keen.

I think it's a precious thing and you should definitely take more care of it. You'll be glad you still have it to show everyone come his wedding day.
A lollipop stick covered in masking tape.
It's in the shed with the special stones and sea shells.:-)
I bloody love threads like these.
Don't have any kids myself but you lot must be made up with your 'gifts'.
Kids rock.
If I kept every special stone that mine have picked up whilst playing outside / learning to ride bikes then I'd have enough to cover a modest driveway.
Probably why my neighbours driveways are looking bare but not totally bald.
A twig that my son insists is stick man 🙂

Suggestion duly noted.
From my 15yr old...a mahoosive phone bill 😐
I got my mum a big bunch of flowers for her birthday.
Then left her to take delivery of three tonnes of gravel and spread it around the garden
Happy 60something mum!

I had to trim the jaggy bits off 'Stickman' and then sand him down so that my youngest couldn't gouge everyone's eyes out with it
When I'm telling my kids to do something they don't want to, I sometimes say 'do it or I'll get the beating stick out' to much laughter from them.
So my daughter, aged 5 at school made me a beating stick, from a branch and piece of paper. And told her teachers what it was. Who wanted a 'chat' with me.
Not so funny any more....
Was awoken at 7 this morning with my 4yr old shouting "surprise Dad" and presented me with a tupperware box full of grass. She looked most dissapointed when I began searching through it thinking my 'surprise' was in the grass. No. my surprise WAS the grass 🙂
